You can now buy Xbox Design Lab gift codes for the gamer in your life

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Microsoft has started selling gift codes for the Xbox Design Lab. Now, you can purchase a code from Microsoft to gift to a friend so they can design and order their very own custom controller in the Lab.

If you're unfamiliar with the Xbox Design Lab, the service allows anyone to easily customize their own Xbox Wireless Controller with their choice of colors. And with 8 million possible combinations, things can get pretty wacky. We talked a bit about our experience with this service shortly after it launches, so be sure to check that out for more.

If you have a gamer in your life that would love to get their hands on a custom controller, you can purchase a code direct from Microsoft for $89.98. Of course, if you're designing one for yourself, you can simply toy around with the Design Lab as well.

First, they should offer this service for the Elite controllers. I'd upgrade ours straight away.

Second, and more importantly, how is it they can so easily do this, but you still can't purchase digital games as gifts? Yeah, yeah, I know, you can purchase gift cards, but that doesn't help much as you still couldn't utilize the sales happening every other week.
